CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – AT&T* has turned on the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network** in Clarksville, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides include:

• Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
• Reliability. AT&T not only has the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network, but now also has the most reliable 4G LTE network. According to independent third-party data, AT&T has the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks.
• Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
• Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you’ve sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
• More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.

“As we all rely on the wireless internet more and more, having access to faster 4G LTE is good news for Clarksville,” said Speaker Pro Tempore Curtis Johnson.

“The way we communicate is changing, so we must do all we can to encourage even more investment in new technology in order to be successful in a global economy,” said Rep. Joe Pitts.

“Communications infrastructure is critical to economic development,” said Melinda Shepard, vice president, Clarksville Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. “Today’s announcement is just another reason that Clarksville is a great place to create jobs. I thank our local legislators for working to bring more investment to Montgomery County.”

“We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Clarksville responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, reliably, on the best devices,” said Lanie Johnson, regional director, external affairs, AT&T Tennessee. “As part of the Clarksville community, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the wireless network is another way we’re accomplishing that. Come visit our AT&T store in Clarksville at 2560 Wilma Rudolph Blvd. to view all of our latest 4G devices.”
